Bryony And Roses

Synopsis

Bryony and her sisters have come down in the world. Their merchant father died trying to reclaim his fortune and left them to eke out a living in a village far from their home in the city.

But when Bryony is caught in a snowstorm and takes refuge in an abandoned manor, she stumbles into a house full of dark enchantments. Is the Beast that lives there her captor, or a fellow prisoner? Is the house her enemy or her ally? And why are roses blooming out of season in the courtyard?

Armed only with gardening shears and her wits, Bryony must untangle the secrets of the house before she—or the Beast—are swallowed by them.

From the author of "The Seventh Bride" comes a new retelling of Beauty & the Beast, with gardeners, clockwork bees, and roses.

Loved it!

Every time T Kingfisher releases something new, I but it immediately. I've been a fan of Ursula Vernon for a good decade or so and adore her illustration and her writing. It was so wonderful to see a version of the beauty and the beast from her. Despite the bizarre circumstances in which they find themselves, her heroines tend to be both realistic and eminently sensible. Unlike the Disney version of the story, the heroine is thankfully not at all prone to Stockholm syndrome.

Exquisite As Always

For gardeners, lovers of the surreal, horror fans, and readers who can only get lost in characters who truly act like people: this is for you. Now go read everything else by this author too! You won't be disappointed.
